Governance without borders, cloud, hybrid, and on-prem
Nuxari edge agents extend the governance platform to on-premises infrastructure, domain controllers, and hybrid environments, collecting evidence and executing approved remediations locally.
What edge agents do
Edge agents are purpose-built for environments where cloud connectivity is limited, regulated, or insufficient for local governance needs.
Local runtime, no cloud dependency
Edge agents execute approved remediations locally on-premises without requiring a cloud control plane for every action. Works in air-gapped and DMZ environments.
Host-level evidence collection
Collect syslog, audit.log, sudoers, SSH configuration, and user account data from Linux and Windows hosts. Feed findings directly into control pack evaluations.
Secure execution model
Agents only execute actions that have been approved through the Nuxari workflow engine. No ad-hoc or unapproved actions are possible from the agent runtime.
Signed execution receipts
Every action executed by an edge agent produces a signed, timestamped receipt that is transmitted back to the platform and included in the audit evidence chain.
Token-based authentication
Agents authenticate using hashed, scoped tokens with short TTLs. No long-lived credentials stored on the agent host. Token rotation is automated.
Heartbeat monitoring
Agents emit regular heartbeats to the platform. Missed heartbeats trigger alerts, allowing operators to detect agent failures before they create evidence gaps.
How edge agents connect to the platform
Agents operate independently at the edge, receiving approved action packages from the platform and transmitting evidence back.
When edge agents are essential
Hybrid Active Directory environments
Collect user account, group membership, and GPO data from on-premises Active Directory. Sync findings into identity lifecycle workflows.
Regulated environments with data residency requirements
Execute remediations locally without sensitive data transiting cloud networks. Keep evidence collection within your perimeter.
Linux server posture evaluation
Run the Linux Posture Pack against your server fleet via edge agents. Collect syslog, audit.log, sudoers, and SSH config evidence.
Air-gapped or DMZ deployments
Operate in environments with restricted internet connectivity. Agents function autonomously and sync evidence when connectivity is available.
